ING Investment Management (INGIM) has hired Martin Donnelly as deputy chief executive.
Donnelly will report to INGIM chief executive David McClatchy and will also be responsible for the distribution of the business.
He joins INGIM from Barclays Global Investors, where he worked in the firm's institutional business development team. He began his career as an analyst with the Over 50s Friendly Society. He has also worked at Deutsche Asset Management.
INGIM has made a number of changes to its staff in the past few months. In September, chief investment officer and deputy chief executive McClatchy took on the chief executive mantel after incumbent Grant Bailey accepted an overseas posting in Dubai.
The firm also hired Dan McCarthy as a senior portfolio manager to its international equities team. McCarthy was poached from Colonial First State Investments.
